TAY SACHS


Tay Sachs is a fatal disease and occurs when a large amount of fatty substances form within the tissue and nerve cells of the brain.

Many babies who are born with Tay Sachs do not show any signs of it during the first few months of their lives. However, after the fatty substances begin to clog up the nerve cells, mental and physical disabilities become evident.
